库尔特•冯内古特（Kurt Vonnegut，1922—2007） 20 世纪美国最重要、最有影响的黑色幽默文学代表作家。代表作有《猫的摇篮》、《五号屠场》、《冠军早餐》、《时震》、《囚鸟》等。他的作品抓住了他处身时代的情绪，并激发了一代人的想象。 冯内古特是出生在美国的犹太人，1940年考取康奈尔大学，主修化学。1944年珍珠港事件爆发，主张反战的他志愿参军，远赴欧洲战场。1945年遭德军俘虏，被囚禁在德累斯顿战俘营。冯内古特的文学创作，不少灵感正是来自于在战俘营的经历。战后冯内古特在芝加哥大学获得人类学硕士学位，后在哈佛大学任教。他从50年代起开始发表短篇小说，60年代起开始出版长篇。晚年的冯内古特在曼哈顿和纽约长岛的田园里颐养天年。2007 年3月在家中楼梯上不慎摔倒，同年4 月11 日，在曼哈顿逝世。
